Running day at Ruddington today. I'll be down with my weirdo models, and a few sensibles, if anyone is in the area...

Tested SVT on Monday, along with the 05 again.. The SVT will run at a scale 110mph. The 05 will do a steady 85mph on a 5-coach train, and will hold that performance with free-running coaches, up to about 10-coaches.

Get to find out if the traction tyres are any good tomorrow. Will the SVT do a scale 125mph?

Finally put the replacement traction tyres on my SVT 137. Hopefully it will start off on its own, instead of needing a push...

The state of things - like trying to run railcar without its traction tires. It's not going anywhere fast...
